Hours a Day
Starting this week, I will have six hours a day, three days a week that will be focused solely on book writing. The other two days of the work week will be spent blogging on my two blogs. That is giving me 18 hours a week to write – eight more hours a week – of alone writing time. I haven’t spent more than an hour or two alone for years. I am so excited to see what kind of productivity I can accomplish in this designated writing time.
Time to Write
Summer is officially over in our house this week. My daughter begins her first day of 10th grade on Thursday. The following Wednesday, my boys will enter 4K and Kindergarten. I have to say, I’m looking forward to school starting. I had hoped I’d be able to finish my current work in progress this summer, …
My Office
I think all of my years in corporate America has my mind conditioned to where I’m more productive and where I’m not. I’ve tried writing at the dining room table, and I’ve tried sitting on my couch and working, but I have always worked best at my desk. That’s one of the reasons that makes it hard to work when it’s just me and the boys. My office is removed from the rooms where they’re more likely to play, and I’m not very comfortable with that.
A Romance Writer’s Real Life ‘Love at First Sight’ Story
While I was very clearly NOT on the “market”, not looking for a man, and not interested in a relationship, I was nowhere near what Gregg was looking for, either. As I talked about on my Hallee the Homemaker blog during the study of The Power of a Praying Wife, Gregg would pray to God, “Dear God, please let me meet a wife, but she must have never been married, have no children, be able to have children, be shorter than me, and live within fifty miles of me.” I met absolutely none of those standards. As such, when we arranged to have him come fix my computer, he was coming to fix my computer. Neither one of us had any concept of anything else.

From independent reviewers and …
Corrupted Files
I’ve had several people contact me and say that the Topaz Heat that they downloaded from both Amazon and Barnes & Noble last week had a lot of formatting errors and what looked like typos. Things were out of place in the story, sentences ended and were never completed, and scenes were out of order. I don’t know what happened to …
